I've used two kinds of thermo-actuated switches. First I bought an adjustable
one and mounted the sensor at the bottom of the core. I adjusted it
to kick in when the exit temp (the temp at the bottom) is about 180 degrees.
Second, I bought a fixed-temp on from Scotts Manufacturing. They
suggested putting it at the top of the core, so I did. Seems to work
just as well, though it's on a different car :-)
It was cheaper and less fiddly to mount the fixed temp unit. Cheaper, too.
(Scotts Mfg is listed in the Monster List - www.dimebank.com/monster. Great
source for fans, too.)
